We're currently in the end of an era in my opinion. Fighters like these don't exist anymore and if they do, father time is right on their doorstep. It's part of the game but still so fucking heartbreaking. I wanted this fight to showcase the last of the real ones, but it's just not there anymore. I'm excited to see what the new breed has to offer, but I'm so grateful this channel exists to time jump you into those old scraps like their first match up. This second one, I kind of wish it never happened and Diaz kept that status he had before. Now everyone just shows you this fight and it's almost impossible to defend.
Fighters are always going to be the same self harming violent meatheads and there's always going to be brawlers. There's Gaethje and Lineker and violent grapplers like Chimaev and dumb action fighters like Costa, why do old people have to romanticize everything.

Feel so bad for Nick here, having to fight with 2 ruptured disks in your neck just to pay off the debt of being popped for weed when it's now legalized. Awful situation
@@daisybluegroff what? He got good match ups. Condit is a striker, lost a close Dec. Still given a title shot to GSP. Fights Anderson Silva coming off his broken leg, and now an old vet in Lawler. He was given great match ups
“Are you good….in life? Lmk if I can fucking help” Robbie’s a OG & loved by everyone, Nick wasn’t ready to comeback I wanna see him motivated with a full camp
Lawler is always a fan favorite, but damn did Nick steal the spotlight at the pressers. It's wholesome how much support he truly has! Would love to see him fight again, perhaps against lower ranked fighters. He honestly didn't do bad considering how long he'd been away from fighting.
@@joebeast15 yeah so the athletic comission should be getting all the blame but almost everyone believes it was Dana and the UFC who banned him which is false.
This is what an unmotivated, non committed, injured, desperate Nick Diaz looked like after 6 years off. If dude could get everything together he could still put on some great fights.
Regardless of how bad his neck is/was . You can tell he doesn't have that hunger or fire anymore to fight. Kinda reminded me of when Rocky fought Clubber Lang the 1st time. But Still an OG ( both of them Lawler and Diaz) . Much love to Nick !!
Larone back to posting regularly is something I didn’t realize how bad I needed, I still can watch old videos from the catalogue I haven’t seen but he’s posted a few banger banger best moments, hoping we get full best moments video for ortega v volk they actually trashed kinda hard on each other lol Edit:totally spaced he did volk v Ortega TUF which are low key his best videos no way I’d ever watch the full seasons now lol
He was in good shape as shown on his instagram, he’d regularly compete in triathlons up until this fight. I guess he was so out of shape because he had a herniated disc(surgery with his neck or something ) as Cesar Gracie said. I think he would’ve been lawler if he was in fight shape
@@209balls yea he was in shape literally a year before this fight but his neck was fucked so he stopped Working out he came back the wirst time rushed it but he wanted to fight after his suspension because he was basically 40 and he said he’s noticed his body breaking down already and his mind effected from those hits that’s why he just rushed into this fight you can tell he just needed the money. Nick dosent want his little brother to pay him off he has to much pride for that he’s been out of work for 5 years I think he just wanted to bring money to the table instead of his little brother always being it
can’t believe they suspended Nick 5 years for marijuana 😢they couldn’t juste give him a warning with a reasonable fine and move on?!? he could’ve accomplished a lot in that amount of time. I think it’s unfair. Weed doesn’t enhance you for christ sake.
I feel you can tell Diaz is done with this grind. I mean who can blame him? The dude's been in Wars, he's just beaten down. But he's still a warrior, it's looking like he's having a little too much munchies from smoking weed 😂 but other than that he's still a great fighter
I compare Robbie Lawler to George Foreman. When he was young he relied on straight power and he was untamed as George, left the UFC to find himself. Came back fought his way back to the top like Foreman and they both won the championship their second go around
I forgot Lawler ko'ed Manhoef; OMG people, Google this guy he was a freaking killer. The fact Nick still fought Robbie with two ruptured discs in his neck, so sad he must really have needed the money.
some say ring rust doesnt exist, i think its pretty dependent on the individual but nick absolutely had it in this fight. Not to take anything away from Lawler, he was a fantastic and entertaining fighter
This is the first time I’ve heard anyone ever say this. Respect the fact that Boozie realizes we’re all the same and have faced a lot of the same adversary
I think Joe Rogan gets paid so much money each time he laughs, yells, drums on the desk or grabs another announcer....it's like judging a fighter with take downs and strikes lol
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 if the ufc wasn't so against pot he would've been able to continue his career no problem just like fighters these days are. its never been up to anyone else but the ufc
@@cjmartinez2cm34 you still don't understand... it was the sanctioning body that oversees the UFC event, the Nevada State Athletic Comission... turn your brain on
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 the ufc is 100% capable of influencing the decisions of these bodies.look at the treatment of jon jones when he popped, conor not currently being in the testing pool, brock lesnar, chandler tony, etc.
@@Ty-oe4dr .... that's all USADA.... who the UFC hired and works with directly. If you recall... Nevada did not let Jones fight when he popped for Gus 2 and California only let it happen cause USADA/UFC came into an agreement, NV was like no F U, you're waiting till the hearing so we can investigate. You clearly do not know how sanction bodies work and how that the promotions 2 entirely different things and you know what, the UFC probably did help Nick cause the suspension was reduced from 5 years to 18 months. Get your head out of the ground dude. You're so adamant it was the UFCs fault but it clearly wasn't, you think they gave af Diaz smoked weed? Be real dude. Turn your little brain on. The comissions have so much power, the governor of NV directly called Dana to stop bad mouthing the comission when he said he never wanted to have an event there after the GSP/Hendricks decision and they ruined boxing and will ruin MMA as well. You don't know a thing dude
Nick seemed like he didn't want to get hit and for him to just quit like that goes to show he's a shell of his former self 💯 never thought I'd say it but he's definitely become soft physically and mentally...the scrappy ultra tough Nick Diaz is gone
You should always judge a man by his best moment, not by his downfall! Nick was the best to have ever done it. Didn't give a shit about belts or championships. He just wanted to beat the fighters, that HE thought were the best fighters.
@@VollKaracho209 the point was if you're paying attention is that he's clearly scared to be in there now, not to mention how out of shape he looked and just quit like he did...he used to be so tough, great hands and never afraid to come forward and fight. His downfall is relevant to how far gone he is now compared to how he used to be and him not caring for the title he wouldn't have stopped fighting after the GSP fight so I don't know what you're talking about.
@@ironman-vo7zl You don't now what I'm talking about is because you've never heard him talk about it. Apparently you don't even know why he was out of shape for the Lawler fight. So stop talking and wasting my time.
as much as i hate to say it, i think that lawler realized during the fight that he massively outclassed nick at this stage in their careers, and took it easier on him to make it entertaining, and im glad that he did. Lawler is a stand up dude. I dont think Nick came back because he wanted to, rather he felt he needed to, either for money or because of the fans. That being said, gotta respect the fact that Diaz went in there and gave a solid effort despite being off for so long, and probably not wanting to fight in the first place.

Corrupt athletic commission as usual
More to that story. The ufc most likely fed him to the wolves.
@@daisybluegroff what? He got good match ups. Condit is a striker, lost a close Dec. Still given a title shot to GSP. Fights Anderson Silva coming off his broken leg, and now an old vet in Lawler. He was given great match ups
@@daisybluegroff To the wolves? Washed Lawler is getting fed to the wolves now?
His brother nate should pay it, man he is rich, i can't understand why he let his brother fight
6:46 Robbie puts his knocked out opponent feet together in a gentle manner like the guy knocked out is dead.
yeah lol knocked the guy tf out then gently put his legs down as if it wouldve hurt the guy if he didnt. still shows how respectful he is
It's already been a year? damn it felt like it just happen a few months ago
Time is flyin
The second fight was the real WOLF tickets. Love these two legends regardless of if the UFC exploits them
“Are you good….in life? Lmk if I can fucking help” Robbie’s a OG & loved by everyone, Nick wasn’t ready to comeback I wanna see him motivated with a full camp
Nick just didn't have the drive he had years before. Still my favorite and one of the best.
i really appreciate you adding some context to this fight and their history. doing god's work my man.
Would love to see both Nate and Nick go out with a win, they deserve it more than anyone.
Nate did go out with a win!
What are you talking about? Nick doesn’t fight anymore and Nate did go out with a win.
@@BigDaddyTony24 Nick fought Robbie 1 year ago and has 1 fight left on his contract I believe. And yes Nate beat Tony I watched the fight
Nate has now done it. Too late for Nick unfortunately
We got one, now let's see what Nick's Up to this year
Two of the best fighters ever
Larone, you are awesome at this. Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Lawler is always a fan favorite, but damn did Nick steal the spotlight at the pressers. It's wholesome how much support he truly has!
Would love to see him fight again, perhaps against lower ranked fighters. He honestly didn't do bad considering how long he'd been away from fighting.
Lawler better
@@beanphuck4821 cool
Nick looked pretty bad
Lawler made two greats no mas Diaz and Macdonald!!!
Nick came into this match with 2 herniated discs in his neck people with back injuries only know the intensity of the pain he endured
Lawler 2 and MacGregor 2 are fight that have never should have happened.
Nick Diaz is so good though is was worth this fight. Beautiful combinations.
I think Nick must have known he didnt train enough even before the fight started. Maybe he is done ☹
Lawyer doesn’t know boring.
I was all excited for Nick's return , but right when he threw that terrible kick right off rip I knew he didn't want to he there and was disappointed
That suspension of Nick Diaz was bull-shit!! Look at all the bull-shit Jon Jones did and was never suspended for that long!!
0:33 why remove the Dana part
I heard the only reason nate beat Tony is because Tony fell off a skyscraper and lost his whole spine in the process.
It is just crazy that weed affects anything...!!! get real for a second...!!!
*These are the BMF OGs.*
You might sell more tickets for you to have a foul mouth
like a sheep to slaughter…sad af. Seriously sucks for Nick
Nicks a good fighter but he slow and old now lol
This is why I don't like Dana White deep down! He did the same thing to Nate! It's all about the image! These two are the best!
Dana didn't do anything.... what are you rambling about. The athletic comission suspended him for the weed not the UFC
Old gay whit slowly riteme
when we gonna see Nate vs Nick ?.
Never wtf
What????
The ufc Bull$hit rules about Nick smoking weed and took 4yrs of his carrer away when he was in his prime merking folks
It is crazy that he got 5 years for weed and Jon Jones has tested positive for more drugs than a pharmacy and he’s never got anything close to that
Damn you guys don't know anything. It wasn't the UFC. It was the athletic comission that suspended him, the governing body that is officiating the UFC
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 I know that. Regardless of who enforced it, it’s bullshit
@@joebeast15 yeah so the athletic comission should be getting all the blame but almost everyone believes it was Dana and the UFC who banned him which is false.
Nick looked terrible
quitter
🐺 🎟
This is what an unmotivated, non committed, injured, desperate Nick Diaz looked like after 6 years off. If dude could get everything together he could still put on some great fights.
nick's shot selection is 100x better than nate's
Hes a way more better boxer then nate diaz,,, nates boxing style is all 1,2’s with the occasional slap hook,
Nick didn't even want to fight just wanted the money.
Needed.. according to his coach
Mans was injured during camp
@@rwo5647 do sho. I went back and watch the fight again and you can tell his neck is all jacked up.
@@RayFury nate aint sharing
Regardless of how bad his neck is/was . You can tell he doesn't have that hunger or fire anymore to fight. Kinda reminded me of when Rocky fought Clubber Lang the 1st time.
But Still an OG ( both of them Lawler and Diaz) .
Much love to Nick !!
Larone back to posting regularly is something I didn’t realize how bad I needed, I still can watch old videos from the catalogue I haven’t seen but he’s posted a few banger banger best moments, hoping we get full best moments video for ortega v volk they actually trashed kinda hard on each other lol
Edit:totally spaced he did volk v Ortega TUF which are low key his best videos no way I’d ever watch the full seasons now lol
Nick's the king of getting the dumbest questions istg lmao
Nick's the king of saying the dumbest shit possible.
Hilarious and sad fight lol. Some Diaz fans were talking about Nick coming back for the title.
He was in good shape as shown on his instagram, he’d regularly compete in triathlons up until this fight. I guess he was so out of shape because he had a herniated disc(surgery with his neck or something ) as Cesar Gracie said. I think he would’ve been lawler if he was in fight shape
@@209balls There's a huge gap between beating washed Lawler and getting a title in 2022 tho.
@@209balls yea he was in shape literally a year before this fight but his neck was fucked so he stopped
Working out he came back the wirst time rushed it but he wanted to fight after his suspension because he was basically 40 and he said he’s noticed his body breaking down already and his mind effected from those hits that’s why he just rushed into this fight you can tell he just needed the money. Nick dosent want his little brother to pay him off he has to much pride for that he’s been out of work for 5 years I think he just wanted to bring money to the table instead of his little brother always being it
Explains why their corner had that ice on nicks neck the whole time
How has no one ever died fighting while Steve mazagaddi is the ref
I heard Mazagaddi and Yamasaki had a bet to see who could make a fighter die first.
Finish him!!
Oh man I forgot how This fight ended 😢
can’t believe they suspended Nick 5 years for marijuana 😢they couldn’t juste give him a warning with a reasonable fine and move on?!? he could’ve accomplished a lot in that amount of time. I think it’s unfair. Weed doesn’t enhance you for christ sake.
Remember when Nick posted a video of him being shredded during training, and then he came into this fight fat, and out of shape.
Wtf?!
Nick didn’t look that bad for a 6 year layoff. If he was 100% healthy and in shape, he would have won the fight.
@@TehUltimateSnake can you read?
Wish we saw the rematch before,,,, during there strikeforce run, or even after strikeforce
Awesome video!
Lawler is a class act. Nick is a hero to many, hopefully his comeback in 2023 will be good. Legend.
I love Nick, he faught the steroid era, has to give way more respect to his record and legacy
I feel you can tell Diaz is done with this grind. I mean who can blame him? The dude's been in Wars, he's just beaten down. But he's still a warrior, it's looking like he's having a little too much munchies from smoking weed 😂 but other than that he's still a great fighter

Dude Lawler was a monster bro. Sad you didn't grow up in the good ol days to see them first hand
Love Nick and Nathan, God bless you boys abundantly
I wish nick had someone to guide him on saving money and looking to the future when he was younger.
I’d like to see them fight a 3rd time with nick and a healthy neck/back. Would be a banger.
What a gentleman lawler is, if he want he can destroy diaz in the first exchange but he don’t want…
BE BLESSED 🤲👑.
Gotta love Nick sad how they did him
Nate idolizes Nick . Nick lowkey is annoyed with Nates success
17:51 xD
I loved it, and i loved how dc giggled just as much, i think we all giggled like this
Knocked robby Lawlor out with a jab
Any thing Diaz Brothers I am in. Love these guys. Real deal.
some say ring rust doesnt exist, i think its pretty dependent on the individual but nick absolutely had it in this fight. Not to take anything away from Lawler, he was a fantastic and entertaining fighter
Robbie Lawler was a menace in his prime...I'd take him over almost anyone in a strike match
It's hell getting old. Both fighters looked alot slower than the first fight. Still a great fight
90s I delivered Canada sardines to Stockton over 3,000 miles
Robbie was awesome, great fighter
It’s like he was fighting his training partner Diaz didn’t wanna fight I love nick but the UFC robbed him of his early years
Nick wasnt doing bad but once Lawler started to open up boy did he smash him.
What’s this! What’s this!! 🎃🎄
I wonder how much fight $ him & Nate have earned...
Damn nick was slacking
Nick got robbed of his “UFC” career
Wen Robbie on it he's dangerous
Nick looked so outta shape.
This is the first time I’ve heard anyone ever say this. Respect the fact that Boozie realizes we’re all the same and have faced a lot of the same adversary
I think Joe Rogan gets paid so much money each time he laughs, yells, drums on the desk or grabs another announcer....it's like judging a fighter with take downs and strikes lol
I love how Diaz makes fun of the dancing queen.
Love the Diaz boys. All heart & nastyness. Lawlers a scrapper too. I forgot about Lawler/McDonald. They beat tha shit outta each other
Aye boys make sure to like n shit get that engagement up get our boy to the algorithm since TH-cam hates mma channels so much
first fight was way better both were young and nate didnt have his career wasted by the ufc at the time
